Looking for a new browser, any experience

[kraegar]

I've tried:

IE (Blah! Slow, bulky, yadda yadda)
Firefox (Memory hog, but still loved it)
Opera (Ok, nothing spectacular, though it's been a while since I looked at it)
Safari (Too many site incompatibilities)
Chrome - Settled on this one.

Reasons: More screen real-estate. It's a slim, efficient UI. Took a little getting used to. Sandboxing. Every tab is its own process. No chance of one tab crashing taking down the whole session. Can drop tabs to their own window, and back, seamlessly. More secure due to sandboxing. (Don't believe me on that? Read some of the hacker comps statements, Chrome on any platform is harder to break, especially windows with DEP). Once chrome added plugins (Flashblock & Adblock) I was hooked! Haven't looked back.
